How to plan an elopement in Italy
TL;DR: Find a wedding planner, choose a venue, hire an Italian wedding photographer, select the desired extras for the day. Oh wait! We offer all of those services!
Relax, we have got your backs and are going to tell you exactly how to plan an elopement in Italy.
The main reason you may struggle with organizing your wedding in Italy is if you let yourself get overwhelmed by too many choices.
Where to elope in Italy is often where people often come unstuck. Don’t worry, we will tell you about the best places to elope in Italy.
Many of our elopement clients come to us because they no longer have the desire and passion to complete the large wedding they were planning.
Sometimes costs spiral out of control, and occasionally tension develops between families.
It’s easy to see how the big traditional wedding can lose its appeal.
The last thing you want to do is abandon the idea of a traditional wedding and then discover that planning your elopement also becomes another unpleasant, stressful task.
Plan Your Elopement In Italy With Some Expert Advice
At some stage, when planning your wedding, you will need to engage the services of a professional wedding planner.
I suggest you do this from the start. An Italian elopement should be an exhilarating idea that excites you and your partner.
Hiring someone who knows the ins and outs of how to plan an elopement in Italy will make the whole process so much more enjoyable.
Well, don’t worry. We are here to make sure that you experience a perfect destination wedding in Italy.
Can You Elope In Italy?
Absolutely! One option is to have a legally binding wedding in Italy. Or you can make the whole thing even more straightforward by getting married back home and then having a blessing or symbolic ceremony in Italy.
Symbolic ceremonies are, by far, the most emotional and engaging ceremony you can have. They are also the easiest type of elopement to plan in Italy.
A civil wedding is a legal wedding. In Italy, this involves the reading of the articles of civil law that relate to marriage.
Not exactly the most romantic experience! Preparing your documents for the civil wedding is also a time-consuming process.
We can assist you should you want to go this route.
If you are religious, then a Catholic wedding might be a dream come true. We can help with that too. Italy has a lot of beautiful churches.
We can help you find the right one, book it, and complete your paperwork.
Wonderful Symbolic Weddings
The final, and in my opinion, the best option, is a symbolic ceremony. Our professional celebrants will talk to you both to introduce themselves.
This way, you can get to know each other and decide if it’s the right choice for you. Assuming all’s well, they will then talk to you again, but this time separately.
By asking you questions about each other and listening to your feelings and relationship history, they will gather some details about you.
They will then use this information to plan and create a bespoke ceremony just for your intimate elopement in Italy.
A celebrant could turn up and just read some standard often heard passages.
However, we feel that your wedding ceremony should be an engaging spiritual occasion that defines and acknowledges the connection between you and your partner.
Our celebrants perform emotional, meaningful, memorable blessing ceremonies. Precisely what a romantic elopement should be.
Where Are The Best Places To Elope In Italy?
Italy is famous for its incredible scenery, art, history, and culture, and there are countless amazing places to visit. Finding the best place for your elopement is undoubtedly not an easy decision when choosing between the Amalfi Coast, the Italian lakes such as Lake Como or Lake Maggiore, or a city like Rome, Florence, or Venice.

When we decided that we wanted to get married in the beautiful Tuscany, we knew that we needed a photographer that would do the setting justice.
Jules stood out immediately to us because of his attention to detail, his creativity and his ability to capture the perfect moment. We fell in love with his portfolio and no one else compared.
Before the wedding, Jules took the time to meet and get to know us so that on the day he knew exactly what our vision was. He was honest and professional and, having just taken on the daunting task of planning a wedding abroad, we valued his advice and experience. We knew, without doubt, that he was going to do an amazing job.
On the day itself, Jules was outstanding. He knew the location already, which meant he could ensure the best angles and shots possible. This was invaluable to us and meant we could enjoy the day knowing that our photos were in safe hands.
The day wasn’t without its challenges, but Jules worked tirelessly to achieve the shots that we wanted. The end results are simply stunning and we couldn’t be happier with his work. Thanks for a fantastic experience Jules!

If you have the chance to have Jules photograph your wedding, do it… Right now. We had our ceremony in Ravello, Italy in July 2022 (setting the stage, so that you fully understand how hot it was).
It was an intimate ceremony so just myself, my groom, and some family members – I did not have bridesmaids or anyone to help with other tasks. Jules was truly a Jack of all trades on this day – not only giving us great customer service by taking AMAZING photos, but also moving around clothes, furniture, accessories, giving us bug spray, and communicating with the hotel staff to ensure that our day (and photos!) went as smoothly as possible. Jules was professional, punctual, and thoughtful the entire day & evening that he was with us.
After about 15 minutes of taking photos in the extreme heat & humidity, it would have been easy to give up – but Jules was there to take photographs, so he hyped us up, gave us energy, and made us feel like we could really take beautiful photos even though we were hot, fatigued, and ready for cold beverages.
We took photos at hidden gem locations that only the eye of a legendary photographer like Jules could find. Fast forward to less than 48 hours later, Jules had already selected, edited, and sent me all the photos in an easy-to-access format. Now, the best part: The photos. They were utterly stunning and perfect.
I couldn’t imagine having any more gorgeous photos from our special day that captured our feelings, the atmosphere, and the beautiful location. We were so lucky to have found Jules and had him patiently guide us through the photography process on our special day in beautiful Italy.

As we were looking for a wedding planner and photographer, the moment we communicated with Jules we immediately knew he was the one we wanted to guide us. From the start he was very thorough, gave us exact options of what we were looking for and made every decision we had to make so easy.
Not only was he so helpful with planning, his photography skills are amazing. He went above and beyond with making every photo perfect. We had a vision and Jules exceeded with every detail.
Our day was more beautiful then I could ever of imagined and our photos were breathtaking, all thanks to Jules.
